MedSave®
Effective January 1, 2007, the University of Pittsburgh is offering a simpler, faster reimbursement method for all
Spending Accounts through a new product called MedSave®. Medsave, administered by eBDS, is an Online Claims Entry system
that applies to all University of Pittsburgh Flex Accounts (Healthcare, Dependent Day Care, Qualified Commuter).
With MedSave, there is no more waiting for scheduled reimbursement dates. Once your claim has been entered online and
approved, continuous reimbursement is available. Reimbursements are processed on a daily basis. The reimbursement can
occur even faster if you sign up for direct deposit with eBDS.
To use this new service you will need three things:
- Web site address: www.ebdsbenefits.com/eOSA
- Customer ID: (Your Social Security Number)
- 4-Digit Pin: XXXX
Once logged in, follow these additional basic steps to complete the online claims entry process:
|
Step 1:
|
Click on “MedSave Online Claims Entry” on the left and enter your own claims online using Quick Click entries
|
|
Step 2:
|
Save and Print your Online Claim Cover Sheet
|
|
Step 3:
|
Submit your Online Claim Cover Sheet and Supporting Documentation by fax to EBDS at (412) 586-3434 or by mail to:
MedSave
P.O. Box 22158
Pittsburgh, PA, 15222
|
The reimbursement process begins as soon as the Online Claim Cover Sheet AND Supporting Documentation are received.
You can submit claims without using the Online System by using the paper Claim Form
and faxing in your form with documentation, however the reimbursement process will not be as fast as if the Online
MedSave System was used. The instructions for submitting the paper claim are included with the form.
For more detailed online claims entry instructions please see the Step By Step Instructions.
If you need additional assistance, you can refer to the MedSave Tutorial on the eBDS site or call eBDS Customer
Service at 1-800-207-9310.
